Incorporated in 1972, the Edinboro University Alumni Association has a long tradition of providing a wide range of educational, social, and recreational programs to continue a mutually beneficial relationship between you and the University.
As an Edinboro graduate, your membership in the Alumni Association is immediate and automatic. It entitles you to take full advantage of the services of the Association - at no cost, just present your membership card - including access to the extensive holdings in Baron-Forness Library and a 10 percent discount at the Campus Bookstore along with use of the University Center.
Through the Edinboro News magazine, alumni are kept informed of campus events, alumni services, and news about classmates. Since the magazine is mailed to all alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the University for whom we have current addresses, it is important to update your information with the Alumni Office.
Alumni receptions, luncheons, and dinners have been hosted by alumni in Arizona, California, Cleveland, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Meadville, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Erie, Florida, Oregon, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. We hope you'll make a special effort to keep in touch by attending some of our alumni events.
The Edinboro Alumni Association is led by a Board of 25 volunteer directors, representing a wide range of professions, geographical locations, interests, and class years. Each Board member is elected to serve a two- or three-year term, and meetings are held at least four times a year.
As a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, the Edinboro Alumni Association is affiliated with the Pennsylvania Council of Alumni Associations.
